There are still many questions around Joao Felix‘s future as his loan at Chelsea is about to expire in a matter of games.
He had a strong start and a few moments of brilliance, but then he really faded, and it’s highly doubtful that the club will pony up the big bucks required to make his move permanent.
There have been more rumours of transfers to other Premier League clubs as a result of Chelsea’s lack of interest, with Newcastle this week appearing as a team that would be interested in him.
Felix’s native Portugal’s Eleven Sports broke the story on Instagram, asking followers to comment on whether the offensive midfielder would be worth the €100 million Atletico Madrid reportedly wants for him. Funny enough, Felix was one of those who responded.
Sarcastically, he said, “[Marca] are intelligent guys.
The picture here is embedded, and it shows his response:
We don’t believe it to be as implausible as he claims. If Chelsea is unwilling to purchase him and Atletico Madrid is eager to offload him, Felix may find the ideal home at Newcastle if he wants to remain in the Premier League and compete in the Champions League.
So Joao, don’t try to be too clever. You might have to take back what you said.
